Is it possible that no mistreatment took place, but rather that this
particular litter was not of hardy genes? I do not claim to know
anything about treatment of animals. But my girlfriend has 5 cats. She
spoils them and two of them are somewhat sick despite that, one of 
them scratches itself at the base of its tail and as a result has no 
hair there. I think you should see how the rest of the animals are being 
treated at the store, and perhaps discuss the matter with the manager. 
Some animals have problems despite treatment.
